摘要：This research analyzed amino acid sequence similarity between non-self T cell epitopes recognized by mouse antibodies and mouse proteins. Using sequence alignment,we found that only 8 of 1 108 epitopes are highly similar to mouse protein sequences. The result shows that non-self T cell epitopes are not similar or have little similarity to mouse protein sequences. Furthermore,reviewing the related literature,we also found that the eight epitopes would trigger immune responses in some particular environment,which are ignored by T cells in normal condition. The result suggests that no or low-similarity peptide vaccines can reduce the chance of collateral cross-reactions and enhance the antigen-specific immune response to vaccine.

摘要：我们设计合成了一例共价有机框架材料(TB-COF),并将其开发应用为癌症的光热治疗试剂.TB-COF是基于供体-受体原理,由富电子构建单元(供体)和缺电子构建单元(受体)构建而成.当受到激光照射时,TB-COF中供体和受体之间会发生显著的光诱导电子转移,将吸收的光能转化为热能并用于肿瘤消融.TB-COF具有优异的光热转换效率,其值可达43.65%,与常用的光热试剂相当.此外,我们还将透明质酸(HA)包覆在TB-COF上,以提高其生物相容性并实现肿瘤靶向功能.体外和体内实验均证实了TB-COF-HA高效的光热抗癌功能.

摘要：Photoacoustic imaging, also called optoacoustic tomography, is a non-destructive biomedical imaging technique which employs acoustic detection to image optical absorption contrast with high-resolution deep into scattering tissue. Photoacoustic imaging overcomes the limit of high light scattering in the tissue and realized in vivo high-resolution and high-contrast imaging in the deep tissue. Photoacoustic imaging technology has been rapid development in recent years and make constantly breakthrough from a technical level to the application level. This paper describes the basic principles of photoacoustic imaging technology and make an example analysis by multispectral optoacoustic tomography （MSOT）.

摘要：Objective To observe the value of deep learning (DL) models for automatic classification of echocardiographic views. Methods Totally 100 patients after heart transplantation were retrospectively enrolled and divided into training set, validation set and test set at a ratio of 7 ∶ 2 ∶ 1. ResNet18, ResNet34, Swin Transformer and Swin Transformer V2 models were established based on 2D apical two chamber view, 2D apical three chamber view, 2D apical four chamber view, 2D subcostal view, parasternal long-axis view of left ventricle, short-axis view of great arteries, short-axis view of apex of left ventricle, short-axis view of papillary muscle of left ventricle, short-axis view of mitral valve of left ventricle, also 3D and CDFI views of echocardiography. The accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score and confusion matrix were used to evaluate the performance of each model for automatically classifying echocardiographic views. The interactive interface was designed based on Qt Designer software and deployed on the desktop. Results The performance of models for automatically classifying echocardiographic views in test set were all good, with relatively poor performance for 2D short-axis view of left ventricle and superior performance for 3D and CDFI views. Swin Transformer V2 was the optimal model for automatically classifying echocardiographic views, with high accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score was 92.56%, 89.01%, 89.97% and 89.31%, respectively, which also had the highest diagonal value in confusion matrix and showed the best classification effect on various views in t-SNE figure. Conclusion DL model had good performance for automatically classifying echocardiographic views, especially Swin Transformer V2 model had the best performance. Using interactive classification interface could improve the interpretability of prediction results to some extent.

摘要：化学取代是有效调节分子电导,产生多通道输运、量子干涉效应和其他机制的关键方法.但分子骨架和侧基之间存在复杂的相互作用,目前仍未被研究清楚.在本工作中,我们结合扫描隧道显微镜裂结实验技术和第一性原理计算方法,深入研究了具有不同σ和π侧基的分子电导.实验结果及理论分析表明,σ侧基的加入引起了分子前线轨道的对称性破缺并加剧了分子内散射,从而导致电导的降低.相反,π侧基引入了额外的电荷传输通道,实现了电荷传输的多通道效应,增加了分子的电导.这些发现为未来分子功能化和分子电子器件的设计提供了坚实的基础.
